Everybody Knows My Name

(album: Working My Way Back To You - 1965)

Everybody knows my name
I got fortune, even fame
I snap my fingers for a dame
There ain't no man that I can't tame
The world is hanging on my string
I even grabbed that big brass ring
There ain't no song that I can't sing
Believe me friends, the glamour don't mean anything

You've got a home
(You've got a)
And a family
Well, you've got much more than me
Much more than me

I climbed the ladder of success
I'm one step higher than the rest
I got the guts, I passed the test
No man can say I'm second best
I tip a dollar for a shine
I'll be a legend in my own time
There ain't no mountain I can't climb
Believe me, I'd change places with you anytime

You've got a home
(You've got a)
And a family
Well, you've got much more than me
Much more than me

The good die young, so it's been said
Well there ain't no halo round my head
A long and lonely life instead
I can't complain, I made my bed
I made my mark, I know the score
Success to me can't offer more
'Cause lady luck has closed the door
Believe me friends, that's all there is, there ain't no more

You've got a home
(You've got a)
And a family
Well, you've got much more than me
Much more than me

Ooooooh
(Everybody knows my name)
Ooooooh
(Everybody knows my name)
